Not nearly enough. In Canada riders younger than 18 in riding establishments have to wear helmets and it is becoming more acceptable. MY guess would be 15 to 25% in the general public but it should be more. Here is the results of a poll from the dailyequine.com forum for horse folks. Poll Question:

I would like to develop some data on helmet use by forum members. Please review and select the answer that is closest to your helmet usage.

Results: I use an approved helmet every time I ride [59%] 65 votes I use a helmet occasionally when I ride [6%] 7 votes I own a helmet but almost never use it [10%] 11 votes I do not own a helmet but am considering getting one [14%] 15 votes I do not own a helmet and have no interest in getting one [9%] 10 votes Helmets are only for kids [0%] 0 votes Helmets are for sissies [0%] 0 votes Real horse people do not wear helmets [2%] 2 votes
